Tag : |
His |
Protein Length : |
Met1-Ser146 |
Form : |
Lyophilized from sterile 20mM Tris, 500mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. |
Bio-activity : |
Measured by its ability to induce Interferon gamma secretion by human natural killer lymphoma NK-92 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 2-8 ng/ml. |
Molecular Mass : |
The recombinant rat IL21 consists of 140 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 16.64 KDa. It migrates as an approximately 20 KDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. |
Endotoxin : |
< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Purity : |
> 90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Storage : |
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C to -80°C. Store it under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Reconstitution : |
It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4°C before opening to recover the entire contents. |
